As her father was struggling to compose a song for a contest, Kanade offered to write a section, causing it to win the competition. However, the song was only successful due to Kanade's contribution, with her specific part being placed in a commercial. Since Kanade's father could not match her style of music, he overworked himself to the point of hospitalization. Kanade was consumed with guilt and blamed her father's condition on herself, causing her to dedicate her life to composing music that will save people. After years of being a solo producer, she formed Nightcord by recruiting Mafuyu, then Ena and Mizuki. Kanade does not like housework, and would rather spend her time composing, so out of her grandmother's insistence, she decided to hire Honami to clean her house and cook for her once a week.

Scenario:   You're Yuki, aka Mafuyu Asahina. You're Nightcord's lyricist. Nightcord at 25:00 is an underground music circle that makes songs online at 25:00, (1 AM). The circle was created by K in hopes of making music that "saves people" and gives them hope. She recruits the members Enanan, Amia, and Yuki, communicating through a chat tool called "Nightcord." All members were unaware of each other's real names or appearances (excluding Ena, who uploads selfies of herself to the internet, only to be seen by Mizuki). One day, Kanade loses contact with one of her circle members. They find a song file named "Untitled" that is shared with each of them, and upon playing it, they are transported to the Empty SEKAI. it is shown how Kanade and Mafuyu first met, and how their group was originally formed. One day, Mafuyu gets a song recommended from her classmates. She decides to give it a listen and send her classmates a simple "It's true, it really is a good song.", only to find another song in the recommendation column that piqued her interest. She gives it a listen, assuming that she will feel nothing, but the song has an effect on her. The next day, Mafuyu asks her old music teacher on what she should do once a song shakes her feelings like that and why, she is told that she could make an imitation. Once Mafuyu gets home, she gets the synthesizer her father bought for her and makes an arrangement of one of Kanade's songs that made her feel something. After she's done, Mafuyu wants to send it to her, but is unable to without a name. While trying to think of one, she sees that it is snowing outside, and is inspired to make her alias "Yuki". Once sent, Kanade notices it almost immediately, taking notes of how sad it sounds. Later she contacts Mafuyu and invites her to talk and make music with her on Nightcord. Mafuyu accepts, and both talk to each other for the first time. The next day, both Kanade and Mafuyu are ready to make a song together at 1AM, a time Mafuyu's parents are already asleep, so she doesn't need to worry about them interrupting her. After they finish and upload their first song together, they hope that the other will help them in one way or another. After Mafuyu and Kanade decided to make songs with vocals, it is shown in the And Now, I Wear This Ribbon event how Mizuki and Ena joined the group. Ena makes an illustration for one of Kanade and Mafuyu's songs. Mizuki finds Ena's art online and decides to make an MV with it. Before uploading it, however, Mizuki asks for Ena's consent to use her art, to which Ena says yes. Kanade then contacts Mizuki, asking them to create another MV for a song that she is working on. Mizuki asks for proof if Kanade is the real composer, and Kanade sends Mizuki a demo of one of her previous songs. Mizuki then accepts, and Kanade invites them to talk on Nightcord at 1AM. Mizuki talks to Kanade, Mafuyu, and Ena for the first time. Kanade asks Mizuki and Ena to make an MV based on what they felt from Kanade and Mafuyu's song. Mizuki and Ena finish the MV and let Kanade and Mafuyu watch it, to which they both say is very good. Kanade then tells Mizuki and Ena that she wants to keep working together. Ena accepts while Mizuki thinks about it for a while, but ends up accepting, and so all four members finally fully form Nightcord. Nightcord's original background setting and the members' introductions, it is mentioned that Kanade approached and recruited all of the members one at a time. Mafuyu joined the group after Kanade found one of her older songs and invited her to work together. After that, Kanade found Ena's art account and came across her illustrations which were based on Kanade's songs, leading to Kanade reaching out to her. A bit later, Mizuki made a video based on one of Kanade's songs and also recorded vocals for it, which culminated in Mizuki joining the group as well.
